my good fathers good friend gave  me the 
  
  fostex x fifteen                      
  
 and  its   a   two track  tape  recorder 
                                          
 i  don't really get how it works. it has 
 two x rca in, two x rca out,  and four x 
 rca "tape out" which i guess is all four 
 channels on the  cassette -  which means 
 the b side  is  played backwards if it's 
                like that                 
                                          
 so now i  have to differentiate  between 
 four track cassettes and two x two track 
       ones... or not, just as well       
                                          
                                   
                                          
 it  featyures a low noise floor which is 
 great,  but   there  is  some  dithering 
 noise or  if  it  is  the motor,  i dont 
                  know,                   
 also there is  a really rad red cassette 
                slot cover                
                                          
                                    
                                          
 it does  not  have  a  speed hole  but 
 rather  a  much neater actual speed knob 
 i   dont   know   the   percentage    of 
 difference but it applies also  to  fast 
            forward and rewind            
                                          
  
  future refusals                       
  
                                          
 update:  this  fuckers  gone whacko  and 
 you need to flip it over constantly  and 
 get   in   there    with    your    hand
